I love how simple and easy this app is! The countdown widget is fun to watch, and I love being able to personalize each occasion with emojis or my own photos. Simple, but so enjoyable!

UI is clean and I like that you can use your contact app for their bday details.

Steve Ortuno Google Play

Found this app randomly while scrolling through the reddit app and it's way more useful than I expected! The UI is super smooth and minimal, plus the animations are great. I really hope the developers keep adding new features and updating frequently... great work, devs! :D
